THE KXATI03 OF THE RACES. . Now the cry is "the Southern whites are oppressing the nejrroes." The manner of presenting this falsehood differs, the matter is monotonous. The Radical journals are dwelling on the natural results of a political war of races. Liberal and extreme, all alike, treat recent events in the light of weak steps towards a new Confede rate rebellion. And this is nothing but another play iu a game which, though shallow enough, has so far succeeded. The connection between the prophecies of the administration press, and recent occurrences in some of the Southern States, is too obvious to be disregarded. An election is ap proaching, new capital is needed, and lo ! the events for comments are fur nished. It is more than an accidental hap pening 1 It is a solemn and tragic co incidence! The Radical party ap- roaches a field of stern and doubtful attle, and the South seems to famish the debatable ground of conflict. It has long been obvious that without some counteractin...

Almost daily we read accounts of hundreds and thousands of northern laborers thrown out of employment because supply exceeds demand. It is probable that the hardships they will endure through 'the rigors of a long winter, will teach them that the poverty to which they have helped to reduce the South, is reacting upon themselves. The immense supplies which used to be boughtfor negro con sumption, the negroes are too poor and improvident to buy for themselves, and the luxuries in which wealth was want to indulge are cut off by the Land of poverty, or forbidden by a wise economy. Thousands, who once looked to the labor of the North for ever...

ThcCostof.LlTlDf. , , Valuable statistics in regard to the i romparafife cost of living in America and Europe are given in the lagfMaa- j sachusetts Labor Report:" . A One dollar will buy twenty pounds of flour in Boston one or two pounds ro ore in some European seaports, but the same are considerably less in a ma turity of the places compared. In Bos ton one dollar will buy 5.5(5 pounds of freh beef, roast-piece. ; In ; no places in England will it buy so much by a pound or more, and in Europe still let, Copenhagen being the oniy place ;w here it will buy more. Butter in Eu rope averages a pound more to the dol lar than here, cheese less by more than that, except in a few spots. As for potatoes, they are cheaper here than id Eengland, and dearer . than in Ireland or Germany. Seven or eight pounds of pork for a dollar are sold here, and not much over half as much ran be obtained for that sum in Eng land, and nowhere as much. In rice, milk and eggs they have the advantage of'cs. Tea ...
